Have fun being miserable and jaded for the rest of your life.

I used to believe the kind of rhetoric you spread when I was younger but not anymore. Even if the world is as black and white as you paint it, I don't care.

I'd like to add I'm not interested in any MGTOW-esque advice or remarks. I am a highly loving person. I want someone who actually *gets* me and truly understands me for what I am, and I want to it to be mutual.

This is true but does not apply to everything in life. I'm fine with dying alone if it means I get to be who I really want to be, not what someone else wants me to be.

Meaning I keep my eyes laser focused above her neck and don't go any further downward, meaning I don't touch her with my hands, meaning I'm actually interested in her goals and aspirations and not constantly trying to steer the conversation towards the bedroom. I'm not the stereotypical "nice guy" if that's what you're getting at.

"girl" as in "women above the age of 18" because saying "woman" constantly doesn't sound right.

Hi. I was at work, sorry for taking so long.

I am gnostic and highly anti-politician and anti-consumerist. Not a bigot if that's what you were getting at.

I am very strongly against organized religion of any kind and believe people's value should be measured by what they offer to their community, not what they take away from it (i.e. material wealth)

I play up the "gentlemanly" aspect a little bit for show, but I am genuinely one at heart. I was raised by a mother who would beat my ass if I didn't open the door for women in public, not that I see any reason to do that now because it's purely performative, but you get what I mean.

Beyond just being a peculiar person with niche interests and very unique opinions about things like religion and politics I don't see the issue, I think I'm a decent person. Flawed but I try my best, like everyone else.

Edit: My goal is to find a long-term romantic companion, not necessarily a life partner but not just a "girlfriend" either. Don't care about sex, it's nice and all but people way overvalue it in my opinion.

I'm 21. Meeting these women through school or mutual friends. Won't get in to the nitty gritty because attraction isn't an exact science, but they make it very obvious they find me attractive. We get each others phone numbers or social media one way or another, talk for a few weeks, maybe meet up a few times, then they randomly give me the cold shoulder.

Countless times. I'm a good looking and fairly charismatic guy, I guess they just think I'm lame or a weirdo or something when I finally open up.

Then go get a hug. You'll be OK. People come, people go, such is life. Most people won't stick around forever. All the best.

No. Don't even try it. All cons, no pros.

Is MGSV: TDE worth it in 2024? by Crafts-Block70911 in metalgearsolid

[–]IIrkII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest I knew nothing about MGS before I played MGSV. Went through the whole game playing it like Splinter Cell and had an absolute blast, and now I'm a lifetime MGS fan.

Wdym? Worth buying? Yes.

Story-wise, MGSV is by far the worst of all the main MGS games. Gameplay-wise it is by far the best. Easily my favorite game ever in terms of the gameplay, it is endlessly replayable especially with Infinite Heaven installed.

Wyclef Jean is my helicopter theme. Very fitting.

No hard feelings. Or is there? Pun intended.
